If Congress passes the Paycheck Fairness Act, women are going to have access to more tools to claim equal pay for equal work. If they don’t, if Congress doesn’t act, then women are still going to have difficulty enforcing and pressing for this basic principle.
And we’ve got to understand this is more than just about fairness. Women are the breadwinners for a lot of families, and if they’re making less than men do for the same work, families are going to have to get by for less money for childcare and tuition and rent, small businesses have fewer customers. Everybody suffers.

President Obama on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which is up for a vote tomorrow (via barackobama)
I still can’t believe that this shit still happens. Especially after my mom’s husband lost his job (AGAIN….due to “his tendency to procrastinate” =_=), she works her ass off even harder at her job….the fact this is still up for debate in 2012, is pretty sad.

Hey there!
On my tumblr you may observe my unhealthy passion of video games, (especially those I played during my childhood), geeky stuff, random things I find funny or badass, appreciation of nature, animals, and others' amazing art and photography.
(But mainly the unhealthy video game addiction passion :D)
I am a 20 year old college student. Genuine, Intelligent, Kind, Athletic. Fierce. Like many, I've been through a lot of sh*t in life. Subsequently, I willfully stopped giving a F*ck about what society thinks of me, you, or anyone and what prescribed roles we need to be "fulfilling" . Just live life, keep an open mind, stand back up and stay strong, and expand your knowledge and experience! C:
I am an artist as well, taking pleasure in drawing fearsome monster-type creatures, video game inspired stuff, fanart, people, animals, and other random things. I am striving to someday [officially] become an illustrator and also work on video games as a concept artist.

I also have a Facebook page .
